I'm getting there. I just found an old casio solar powered scientific calculator; I had to "borrow" my wife's sewing light to get it going

That seems a meager start to me. I was hoping to reduce that some more.
Will it work OK open-ended?
I am looking at folding it twice, that would get me out to 13' or so.
If I'm not building a long radius, 12 degrees is absolute the max I should go?
